I went to a reputable imports shop and they quoted me 400 for installing my Hr springs. Is this correct guys? This is way too much from what Ive heard . They told me 400 and that includes an alignment. How much does it run to have them installed the correct way ? I was thinking 150 or so .

 

That is way too high. I'd shop around if I were you. Should only be $200 max w/the alignment.

 

WOW....no thank you.

I would not pay more than $200 for springs installed. Let's say $250 with aligment. It takes me 3 hours to do it myself. That's without major tools, and working on the sun with a one jack.

Any mechanic could do it it less than 3 hours. Let's say $80/h is $240. No way $400.

 

I paid $300 with alignment at the dealer, I'ld think an import shop would be less than that.

 

$400 $200/3hrs is what most performance shops charge.

 

that is ridiculous i have paid between 100 and 150 the couple of times i have had them changed.

 

Thanks Guys I knew it was too high. I was in the shop when someone called and asked how much it would cost to lower a 88 bmw 325 and they said it would be 380. A few seconds later the guy kept saying hello hello. Once the person heard 380 they hung up . I am going to probably go to a friend who works at the Honda dealer. Thanks!!

 

I was quoted $260 ($65/hr for 4 hours) with alignment. Not cheap, but more reasonable than $400.

 

I even said 400 a couple times just to make sure he said it correctly. 400 is exactly what he said. I told the guy that was a little high and he said we can finance you . I said I will think about it ya right

 

Wow, financing labor now. That should tell anyone that the price was a BIT TOO high.

400 dollars....Sheesh....What a rip.

 

Maybe he thought you were gonna buy the springs from him too? 200 labor + 150 Springs + 50 Alignment = 400. That would make more sense. Otherwise that guy is just plain nutz!

 

I went to PAA to install my comptech springs and it was almost $300 with alignment. $400 is a rip off.

 

Holy shiat!!!!! 400 bucks...are you kidding..they better dip your springs in 14 karat gold for that price....no way man, i just ordered H&R sports springs, cost me 170 for springs and 120 for install...Went to acura, and they use laser alignment machines, and they quoted me about 50 bucks for 4 wheel alignment..SO the entire deal including springs/install/alignment shoudln't cost even 400 bucks..That place is trying to RIPPPPP you off.

 

I just went to the Acura dealer and they quoted me 111 each spring. They were gonna charge me 50 for alignment. This is frigging nuts,and the guy at the dealership was gonna give me a deal. 450.00 with alignment. This is fugging nuts!!!

 

Man, wish we had Acura dealers here in NorCal that offered deals like that!

You FL guys have it too good...

too high, I paid 200 for mine. tell them to shove the qhote in their own ass.

 

Ya...So i'm also looking to lower my car and i asked the dealership...and well hahaha!! o man....ok, so they want 200 for the H&R springs, so i'm like sound ok, then the price for the install was mentioned, i though he said 40....but he really said 400 plus another 50 for alignment....hahahah!!! 650 for all!! :wow: Now i've got springs from Tim for 195 and 100 bucks for install and alignment.

 

I'll do it for $150 if you live in south florida.

 

I've got the same problem.... Got my springs from Tim and a local performance shop wants $322.00 for install + 4-wheel alignment. Only problem is they're booked up for 2 weeks. Argh!

Called my Acura shop and asked what they'd charge for the same thing... they want $432.00! 110 bucks more... but I can get it done now. It's also the dealership doing the install, so they can't complain about 'em later.

Decisions, decisions!

Damn!!! $400 is crazy!! Like Bitium says, I'll do it for ya for $150 too. It's easy.

Too bad your in Ohio.

 

wait a minute...are you guys nuts??? i got my g/f's accord dropped with H&Rs for 245 out the door with alignment!!! are you guys just talkin bout install? 400 for install ONLY? omg...

 

No, in my case it's $432.00 for install + alignment.

V.

 

You sure you dont want to come to ohio ? I am sure you would like to see where your tl was made

 

Come to south florida beaches/girls/more girls/sun/fun and $150 to get springs installed by me.

 

In Kansas City

Dealer (Superior Acura) = $680
import shop = $255
after market install guy = $175

FYI for all.

 

$125 in NOVA, I got a great deal. Also, do i really have to get an alignment done? i have checked my tires and there seems to be no excessive wear on them?

 

the best thing you could do for your car is to at least get an alignment check done.

that will tell you if you need one.

 

I got my comptech springs installed for $100 dollars at a store in Los Angeles. They have a great looking store with great service.

I was so grateful because I dropped off my car and came back in an hour and a half and it was done...
